Global Day of Prayer

WayMakers (http://www.waymakers.org/) publishes a guide for a great global prayer movement each year. Here is the introduction to the booklet:

"Following a clear vision received in July 2000, a call to Christians across Africa and then across all the earth, to a day of repentance and prayer, a remarkable "wave" of united prayer has "rolled out" over Africa and the globe....On May 27, 2007 believers from 204 nations once again united from all over the globe. The echoes of desperate prayers for transformation sounded from stadiums, open fields, community centers, and private homes. These prayers have the power to transform our world and to fill the nations with the glory of God."

On May 11, Pentecost Sunday, we have an opportunity to join in. All the information can be found at http://www.globaldayofprayer.com/. Every gathering will pray the same prayer together, as in Acts 4:24--"they lifted their voices to God with one accord..." Find a gathering--or start one!
